In a memo sent to flight attendants, the low-cost carrier said it extended the ban in line with the mask mandate extension until 18 January for travellers.
With the mask mandate being extended to January 18, 2022, there are no current plans to bring back alcohol prior to January 2022,” said Randall Miller, senior manager of inflight operations, initiatives and design, in the memo.
The Dallas-based carrier has followed competitor American Airlines in this move, which announced the extension of the alcohol ban last month. American also said it would extend the ban until January to “create a safe environment” for its flight crew.
This is not the first time both companies have made this decision. In early June, the two decided to extend the ban along with the first mask mandate postponement – originally until September – due to a particular incident on a Southwest flight.
